Hitler: First of all, the philosophy of fascism is based on the ideas of nationalism and a strict system of social division. In the philosophy of fascism every person has its own role in the society as well as its own function. Overall, fascism is a political and nationalistic set of views and ideas. Stalin: everything is quite to the contrary with communism. The first serious divergence consists in the fact that communism is rather an economic philosophy than a political one. The core economic idea of it is that all people should be equal, everything should be possessed ...

Promising for the future is an endeavor set for at least unqualified disappointments. The factors involved in the dynamics of reality cannot be totally controlled, oftentimes have their own lives or evolutionary stages to follow, to conform to someone’s idea of how things should be. The idea of ‘should be’ is a visionary’s dream and a realist’s joke. The promise of imperialism in Conrad’s time and perspective as J. Hillis Miller understood it can either be a contrived promise from the imperialist power to deceive the dominated people into ...

In the pursuit to explaining the creations, mankind has developed theories and beliefs to feed the curious minds. Transcendence is an important concept at understanding the theories and beliefs.

In the Christian Bible, transcendence means that God is the most powerful who is above all the creations. God created all the creatures including a ...

Questions and Answers

1. Review Dante’s Inferno 1. What is the purpose of Dante’s journey? The purpose of Dante’s journey through hell is two-fold. The first reason is to showcase hell and remind Christians the fate that awaits them if they did not follow God’s word. The idea was to scare readers into an upright and Christian lifestyle. Secondly, there is some political ideology as well. When he shows famous people in hell, such as the previous Popes Boniface and Nicholas III, he is condemning some of the political and religious leaders of his time. This was his ...

Campbell states that there are twelve stages of the heroes journey they are; The ordinary world - something occurs in the heroes life that causes stress. The approach - the hero and allies prepare for the challenge. The call to adventure - something occurs within the heart of the hero that starts them on their journey to leadership. The ordeal - the hero confronts, death, fears, anxieties, where something is learned (Campbell).

Allen Hajek formulates his “Many Gods Objection” against Pascal's Wager. In his opinion, Pascal's Wager does not exhaust the relevant options regarding whether there is a Christian God or not. In this paper I shall defend Pascal's Wager against this objection. Hajek's objection to Pascal's wager can be reconstructed as follows. Hajek points out that (1)Pascal's either-or proposition is an oversimplification. (2) We could derive an infinite degree of expected utility from more than one religious option. (3) According to Pascal's Wager, we can either choose only one Christian God or not choose one Christian God (4) This ...

Everybody knows that the ubiquitous nature of the Internet, the richness true-to-life images, and convenient ways to connect to mass media is here to stay. When Steve Jobs died five years ago, whom many considered the genius and driving force behind Apple, haunting shockwaves of disbelief reverberated worldwide. In his Los Angeles Times article of October 5, 2011, Hiltzik wrote “His legacies include making the human factor,” in terms of the look and feel of computerized communications devices, “an indispensable element of consumer electronics design, refining the distribution and display of digital content” to a level which pushed the ...

I would like to see the movie "The Great Gatsby", filmed in 1974 by the director named Jack Clayton from the standpoint of psychoanalysis ("The Great Gatsby (1974)"). I will consider the film through the prism of the basic tenets of the theory, developed by the Austrian neurologist Sigmund Freud. I will make out a few key points that define psychoanalysis as a theory and show how these postulates are related to the main character of the book by Francis Scott Fitzgerald and Jack Clayton’s film, Jay Gatsby. Immediately, it should be noted that this film is not ...

The Great Gatsby written by Scott Fitzgerald is a representation of an infinite variance of ideas. For some, it is the image of the character that has been played by Leonardo DiCaprio while portraying the role of Jay Gatsby in the movie. The argument that has been presented in the essay is that the novel or the movie is more than just a symbolisation of the American Dream or an exquisite viewing pleasure. The greatness of The Great Gatsby has been applicable for all leaders over various organisations, whether the organisation is a business run by a family or ...

The Existence of God: God is dead by Nietzsche

In a parable contained in his book titled “The Gay Science” Nietzsche made a controversial statement where he claimed that God is dead. Indeed, this statement elicited many opposing opinions not only because it appears inflammatory on the face of it, but also because of the philosophical weight it carried. Contained in the parable of “The Madman”, the text indicated, “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under ...

Philosophy and God

Abstract

The issue whether God really exist or it is just an imagination created in minds of people has been debated for centuries. Many scientists and philosophers believe that God does not exist. They have challenged believers to scientifically or logically prove that God really exists. Ontological arguments have been put in place by theology philosophers with the aim of proving, logically and scientifically, the existence of God. Philosophers such as Anselm and Aquinas have put across some logical arguments to prove that God really exists. On the other hand, some atheists such as Bertrand Russell have ...

The supremacy of God in preaching is one of the many books by John Piper and just like all of his other books; the central focus of the book is about the glory of God. It advocates the common saying that Piper, who has served as a pastor at Bethlehem Baptist church for thirty-three years makes in all his preaching and writing that God is most glorified when people are most satisfied in him. Throughout the book, Piper makes the clarion call that preachers should make the glory of God the central pillar in their preaching rather than focusing ...

Introduction

Francis Scott Fitzgerald characterized his main character as “great”, yet the author managed to insert several meanings into this notion. Gatsby is overwhelmed with money, luxury, parties, but this emphasis on the material things emphasizes another issue in the novel. It is possible to claim that Fitzgerald makes the main hero to disguise himself behind the trumpery of ongoing parties and mysterious reputation. The main purpose of Gatsby seems to be rather controversial, as he is clearly avoids fulfilling his mission to win his love (Matterson 5). It is difficult to find that notorious greatness in the character’s ...

Oddly, Ernest’s mother preferred to dress him in a manner that was similar to his sisters (Rivers 2013), but this did not impact his life as an adult.

Was Steve jobs a technocrat?

Pitcher as cited by Kippenberger (2002) argues that a technocrat is a leader who is hardheaded, not open to suggestion, instills fear in his followers, detail oriented, intense, and who focuses on finding the right way of getting things done. Steve jobs leadership fits neatly the description of a technocrat. Steve was obsessed with control, and was generally very hard to work with.

There were many books and articles written on the Civil War. Nowadays, people have access to many achievements, where they can find a world of useful information about the Civil War and find answers to their questions.

Cultural Influences

Introduction In this paper we will look through such things as influences on engineering, architecture, and language (and everything that is in connection) form different cultural groups. I choose those influences, because they are the most visible for a normal human being. What would we have without engineering? Poetry? What about architecture? Those things are surrounding us everywhere. The manner we speak, books we reed, buildings we are living in, every aspect of life is full if those statements. And here I will show what had we taken from Romans, Islam’s, Judaism, and Christianity.

Introduction It is not surprising that not most of the people are understanding the context of philosophy. From a person not inclined with its concept, phisolosphy can be viewed as boring, irrelevant to the real-world application, and yet very much intriguing. On the other hand, it is not so difficult to put a finger on what really is its purpose, what phisolosphers do, and how its principles relate to human existence. However, the answer to those questions can be found in analyzing how it is viewed by different philosophers and what their perspectives about the subject pertains. The ...

People have always aspired to write in order to achieve a goal whether it is to make extra income on the side of their regular jobs or just to write to express themselves, the goal is unique per individual.

Introduction

Leadership today is viewed as a social process wherein leaders and followers interact effectively and participate actively in the leadership actuations (Goertzen, 2013). With the growing proliferation of leadership and leadership development theories, which focused on the educational, experiential, and cultural factors involved in effective leadership, the conceptual environment of leadership is naturally set at showing off the self-made nature of leadership today. However, close observation on the natural behaviors of children will inspire questions on the validity of the claim that leaders are made, not born. A child in the play, for instance, who takes initiative in organizing ...

The human beings are considered as the most intelligent creature in this universe. It is hard to measure the capability and brilliance of the human mind (Voronin et al. 1139-1146).

Philosophers and scientists around the globe are making different kinds of claims regarding the development of human intelligence and their claims revolve around different kinds of theories. Due to the complexity in the theories, it is always difficult to believe in one ...

In Homer’s Iliad, the two most notable characters are Achilles and Hector. The former was a Greek war hero synonymous to a demigod. The latter was a Trojan prince who was also famous for his role in the wars Troy fought (Homer, 2008). In many aspects, the two come about as among the most known historical figures.

Their overly ambitious mentalities were the reasons behind their eventual downfall. ...

Summary of “What Makes a Great City Great” by H. V. Savitch In “What Makes a Great City Great,” H. V. Savitch argues that city greatness could be assessed by reference to four distinctive sets of criteria. By examining four major American cities (New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago) in terms of currency, cosmopolitanism, concentration and charisma (the 4Cs), he claims that it is the cumulative impact of those attributes that renders a city great. His paper is designed as a response to the ambiguity created by previous scholarly articles on the matter and aims to provide a critical examination of ...

This course has referred to various different civilizations as “empires”. The term is admittedly ambiguous: it tends to refer to large polities, but not always ones that achieved similar forms of political, social, economic or culture unity. There is also a notion that some form of “greatness” accompanies those units described as empires. What makes an empire “great” in your view? Give three examples, with sufficient evidence, of what you deem to be polities that fit this descriptive term.

History of the world has documented many political structures and kingdoms all over the globe stretching across timeline. Although ...

Most of them are renowned because of their greatness like Sir Launcelot du Lake, Sir Tristram de Liones, Sir Lamorak de Galis, and many more. Because of the numbers of the knights at that time many knights will forget the faces and will just rely on their titles. With all the titles they have, no one will forget the kindness of Sir Lamorak.

History is filled with examples of violent revolutions accomplishing what non-violent revolutions likely never would have accomplished. Whether it is the French Revolution from 1789 to 1799, the Nazi party’s goal for worldwide dominion, or the struggle in South Africa to shake off the chains of apartheid, violent revolutions have led to profound changes where non-violent civil disobedience probably would have failed.

While proponents of non-violent revolutions often cite the likes of Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi as examples of freedom fighters who chose brains over brawn, ...

Introduction

Over the years, the analysis and critique of works of literature has adopted different dimensions. In simple terms, critics of literature works have adopted different approaches when it comes to analyzing and understanding these works. Some have chosen to explore individual elements within the work to detect a piece of literature is a classic or whether is poorly articulated. This has therefore resulted in varying opinions among different critics about the nature of certain literature pieces due to the lack of a standard approach or model of understanding literature. However, Vladimir Nabokov in his book “Good Readers and Good Writers” presents a unique ...

At the beginning of Le Morte d’Arthur, it appears that Arthur is supposed to be the hero of the story. He is raised in ignorance of his true identity; a miracle accompanies the recognition of his right to rule Britain; he endures a struggle to prove himself worthy as a ruler; he has good intentions to rule in a noble manner. In the first two books, for the most part Arthur’s actions seem heroic. He wins battles and demonstrates both bravery and honor. However, Malory also describes an act of Arthur’s that does not accord with the role of hero. ...

Sometimes, it only takes one great act in history, or one great story for a hero to emerge. Such is the case with the Greek story Iliad, and the historical events in Jerusalem during the time of the crusades. To say that the heroes of these stories do not have anything in common, is a denial of the natural order of things. Both have somehow made a stamp in history, and both are touted as heroes, even up to this day.

Achilles is one of the many heroes in the Greek story Iliad. According to the story, he was recruited by Odysseus ...

The name of the French philosopher Rene Descartes is associated with the doctrine of the independent existence of mind and body. This doctrine is called dualism (Almog 62). His teaching is based on the following assumption. He thought that there are two types of substances "thinking substances" (not bodily substance) and "bodily matter" (living, material substance). Considering the nature of the body, Descartes has appealed directly to the mechanical-hydraulic model. In his opinion, the excitement of man passed along the nerves - as a liquid through the pipes, and muscles with tendons are like the engine and springs. All ...

The conditions within the health care industry are not static but rather change along with unpredictable shifts in the local and national demographics, economy, and regulatory measures. Health care organizations must be able to navigate an ever changing landscape to remain viable. To do this, there must be willingness to implement changes in the structure, systems, processes, or culture of the organization that would enable adaptation. An organizational analysis is a useful tool in predicting successful change and adaptation in situations of chaos and complexity (Bellot, 2011). This paper is an organizational case study of the University of Pennsylvania Health ...

Successful adaptation and continued competitiveness in the industry requires the ability of organizations to deal with uncertainty, pressures, and change. Nurses as leaders need skills in organizational analysis to ascertain their organization’s capacity for adaptation and to assist in strengthening this capacity. An organizational analysis must come from the perspective that health care organizations are complex and there is a need to consider different facets of the organization in order to arrive at a holistic assessment as demonstrated in ...

Creation of new parks and preservation of existing ones

Recreation and leisure activities are very critical dimensions (of the quality of life for all people, even those with disabilities) related to human development. Leisure and recreational facilities can be used as vehicles through which people can have fun, meet new people, and develop relevant skills and competencies. However, traditionally, recreation activities have been given and still are given low priority even today. A sizable group of people in the society is still limited to the segregated recreation and leisure choices. As a member of society pursuing a higher education, I have a responsibility to become a “citizen leader” so as to improve ...

Hank Rearden’s wedding anniversary party is one of the most insightful episodes in Atlas Shrugged.

To them, it is based on a superior moral; equality that is a result of altruism. They are heard saying that owning anything private is evil. When Hank, on the other side of the battle, a ...

Essay for Lesson 1: The 1848 Revolution, the Second Reich, and the First World War

Introduction Prior to 1871, no notion of a unified Germany has ever existed. Yet, the inevitability of the unification of the thirty-nine German states and cities that used to be independent from the control of one another into a single national entity under the Second Reich did not transpire without attendant internal and external power struggles. Given the variety of circumstances that allowed for the rise of a unified German state, it is noteworthy to pay further analysis to the role of Germany under the Wilhelmine Period – the period when Emperor William II ruled (1890-1918), in the buildup to the First ...
